I never made a "progress" thread and I gotta admit I regret it ... and after almost 6 years of owning my car its a little too late to start I think. So I decided to make a "picture" thread and just post random pictures. In case some new mods or changes come up I'll post that here too.

this is pretty much how she sits right now

Credit for most of the awesome pictures that be posted here goes to ctinPhotography (ch1zo)

how do you like your progress rear sway? did you upgrade the endlinks? I like to hear your thoughts on the before and after.

What were you headlight, sidemarker, and taillight mods?

Headlights blacked out, cleared, LED strip added.

Sidemarker looks tinted.

Tails appear to be 07/08 base and tinted also.

Nice ride man =)

I love the sway bar it makes cornering so much more fun. I did put all new OEM links when I instaled it. As for the lights ... what GP said!

I wonder if u could tie in the bronze to the headlights, like paint the trim ring around the projector lens bronze to match wheels, I think that it would look good!

I'm sure it dose ... its nothing new, did it like 4 years ago. The truth is that I don't even use it anymore cause a couple of the LED's started to burn out and now it just looks stupid. Also everyone has em now days so I don't even like it anymore. (but I'm working on something new, thats all I can say for now) :wink:

At one point I did have my center bar painted black as you can see, but then it got replaced cause the plastic was cracked. Now I'm not sure if I wanna do that again. As for the tails and sides, when I got the 07 tails from my friend it was already smoked so I just got him to smoke the sides to match.

Roof spoiler you say? ... yeah ok I think we can make that happen, and for no extra charge why don't I throw in a CF roof wrap as well
